Generating an I/Q Modulated Signal (Option 001 Only)
The signal generator generates I/Q modulated signals with
the following basic characters:
If you use a constant sum vector modulation of = 0.5
V to drive the I/Q modulator, the actual RF level
corresponds to the displayed RF level. To avoid overdriving
the I/Q modulator, you must take care that the sum vector
never exceed 0.5 V when using I/Q modulation. For full- scale
input, the peak envelope power of the modulated RF signal
is thus equal to the indicated LEVEL. The average power is
smaller.
